VIETNAMESE MIGRANTS: IMMIGRATION ORDINANCE
1.
WE WERE MOST GRATEFUL FOR THE FULL ACCOUNT IN TUR. ON THE BASIS OF THIS, AND OUR LEGAL ADVISERS' FURTHER VIEWS FOLLOWING THEIR HELPFUL TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH YOUR EXPERTS, WE HAVE SUBMITTED AGAIN TO MINISTERS.
2. I EXPECT THAT LORD CAITHNESS WILL WANT TO CONSULT THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON HIS RETURN FROM HONG KONG. WE HOPE TO GET MINISTERS' VIEWS IN TIME FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THE DRAFT BILL TO EXCO ON 16 APRIL, ALBEIT WITH LESS NOTICE THAN YOU USUALLY GIVE.
